Now that the choicest picks have been made, the NFL Draft settles down to a search for players who can defy the odds to become valuable contributors. Saturday brings the final four rounds of the draft, and smart teams will be calling one of these 10 names before the day is over.

1. Alameda Ta'amu, NT, Washington

It's surprising Ta'amu did not get picked in the first three rounds. We believe he is the draft's best nose tackle.

Ta'amu is extremely strong and powerful, but he's not a quick-twitch athlete. He will be the type of defensive linemen who gets backfield penetration to make impact plays, which is why he has fallen. Although he will be chosen later than expected, Ta'amu will be considered by San Diego, Pittsburgh and Houston on Saturday.

2. Brandon Boykin, CB, Georgia

After an excellent career at Georgia and a strong week of practice at the Senior Bowl, Boykin broke a leg in the game that did not heal before the draft. He was not able to work out at full speed, which hurt his stock.

Before the injury, Boykin was viewed as one of the most explosive cornerbacks in the draft with excellent man-to-man coverage ability. In addition, he was a big-play kick returner. He will be a great value pick on Saturday, with Detroit or Indianapolis likely to consider selecting him.

3. Juron Criner, WR, Arizona

For a receiver who is 6-3, 224 pounds, Criner ran outstanding routes and had the best hands we saw all year. The issue? He's not a blazer and ran in the 4.6s at the Combine, which undoubtedly sent him tumbling down draft boards. Expect to see Baltimore or San Diego among Criner's Day 3 suitors.

4. Lamar Miller, RB, Miami (Fla.)

Miller is an explosive, one-cut runner with the speed to take plays the distance. However, we were told teams are concerned about his lack of aggressiveness running with the ball and struggles running through grab tackles to gain yards after contact. He does have the elusiveness to make tacklers miss, and the speed to out-run tackling angles, which gives him real big-play ability. Do not be surprised if the Texans or Patriots take a chance on him.

5. Chris Polk, RB, Washington

For a running back with good size and toughness between the tackles, Polk has deceptively quick feet and the ability to accelerate to top speed in a hurry. He likely fell on draft boards because he showed up to the Senior Bowl looking out of shape and fleshy. He recovered nicely during his Combine workout, but clearly the damage was done.

Polk must prove he's committed to his craft and can stay in shape. The Colts still need a running back and Polk could be their man.

6. Nigel Bradham, LB, Florida State

Bradham is a fast and can chase plays down all over the field. However, despite his athleticism, teams are leery of him because he lacks strength to fight through contact and is not a good pass rusher. He will likely get drafted by a team like Tampa Bay or Detroit as both teams place a premium on speed and athleticism.

7. Billy Winn, DE, Boise State

Winn is an underrated, versatile athlete who lined up at different positions on Boise State's defensive line. His most natural fit is at end in a 3-4 scheme. Winn has the quickness and aggressiveness to be effective on bull rushes, and he was extremely productive against the run in college.

While he is a productive player, Winn's lack of explosiveness and big-play ability led to him being passed over thus far. Baltimore must add youth to its defensive front and could be a potential landing spot for Winn.

8. Orson Charles, TE, Georgia

Charles is an athletic tight end who showed the ability to make big plays as a receiver. After declaring for the draft, however, things could not have gone worse for him. He did not work out well at the Combine or his pro day, was arrested in March for DUI and struggled in team interviews. All of these led to Charles sliding out of the first three rounds despite having the talent of many players drafted ahead of him. He would be a good fit for Kansas City or Chicago.

9. Keshawn Martin, WR, Michigan State

Martin is a quick, explosive slot receiver and returner, but he lacks the size and strength teams prefer. His combination of quickness, route running, hands and elusiveness make Martin an excellent developmental slot receiver. He showed the ability to get open at Michigan State, but must prove that skill against man coverage to be as productive at the next level. He will likely be chosen early Saturday by the Colts, Chargers or Broncos.

10. Joe Adams, WR, Arkansas

Adams is a playmaker with elite speed. He is very competitive with the ball in his hand. While he impressed us during Senior Bowl workouts, his size at 5-11, 190 pounds and limited growth potential are concerns. He must also become more consistent catching the ball; he had too many drops in college. Miami has yet to take a receiver, and Adams could be just the kind of vertical threat it plans to target on Day 3.
